View Source Changelog
v0-10-8
v0.10.8
- Added
- Fall back to the wext WiFi driver interface if nl80211 doesn't work. This makes it possible to support the WiFi module on GRiSPv2 boards.
v0-10-7
v0.10.7
- Bug fixes
- Fix crash when scanning for WiFi networks and near an Eero mesh WiFi system.
v0-10-6
v0.10.6
- Bug fixes
- Fully decode WiFi flags based on inspecting the
wpa_supplicant
source code. This should, hopefully, fix the recurring issue with new flags being discovered. The flags are now decomposed into their constituent parts. The original flags are still present, but the new ones should be easier to reason about. E.g.,[:wpa2_psk_ccmp]
is now[:wpa2_psk_ccmp, :wpa2, :psk, :ccmp]
.

v0-10-5
v0.10.5
- Added
- Decode network flags that advertise WEP. Thanks to Ryota Kinukawa for this change.
v0-10-4
v0.10.4
This release only contains a build system update. It doesn't change any code and is a safe update.
v0-10-3
v0.10.3
New features
- Support WPS PBS for connecting to access points. This is the feature where
you press a button on the AP and "press a button" on the device to connect.
See
VintageNetWiFi.quick_wps/1
. Thanks to @labno for this feature.

Bug fixes
- Added missing PSK WiFi type. Thanks again to Dömötör Gulyás for these fixes.
- Improved handling of AP information gathering from the
wpa_supplicant
. This works around a rare issue seen when thewpa_supplicant
doesn't respond to a BSS information request, by 1. not sending the request when the information is known and 2. moving info requests out of the main process to avoid stalling more important requests when lots of APs are around.
v0-10-2
v0.10.2
- Bug fixes
- Added missing EAP WiFi types. Thanks to Dömötör Gulyás for this fix.
v0-10-1
v0.10.1
- New features
- It's now possible to specify arbitrary
wpa_supplicant.conf
text. VintageNetWiFi normally tries to validate everything going into the config file, but this gets in the way of advanced users especially when a feature is not available in VintageNetWiFi yet. This is the escape hatch. Specify the:wpa_supplicant_conf
key in the config and you have total control. - Initial support for WPA3 has been added. See the
README.md
for configuration details. Note that many WiFi modules and their drivers don't support WPA3 yet, and WPA3 support isn't enabled at the time of this release in all official Nerves systems.
- It's now possible to specify arbitrary
v0-10-0
v0.10.0
This release is backwards compatible with v0.9.2. No changes are needed to existing code.
- Bug fixes
- OTP 24 is supported now. This release updates to the old crypto API that has been removed in OTP 24.
- Fix a GenServer crash when requesting BSSID information. This issue seemed to occur more frequently in high density WiFi environments. OTP supervision recovered it, but it had a side effect of making VintageNet send out notifications that would make it look like the interface bounced.
- Fix a crash due to invalid AP flags being reported. Thanks to Rick Carlino for reporting that this happens.
v0-9-2
v0.9.2
This release introduces helper functions for configuring the most common types of networks:
VintageNetWiFi.quick_configure("ssid", "password")
- connect to a WPA PSK network on"wlan0"
VintageNetWiFi.quick_scan()
- scan and return access points in one call
Additionally, there's now a VintageNetWiFi.Cookbook
module with functions for
creating the configs for various kinds of networks.
v0-9-1
v0.9.1
- Bug fixes
- Fix warnings when building with Elixir 1.11.
v0-9-0
v0.9.0

- Synchronize with vintage_net v0.9.0's networking program path API update
v0-8-0
v0.8.0
- New features
- Add a WiFi signal strength polling feature. This works when connected to a WiFi access point.
